Well it's another fabulous day for hopping the TSG way and I actually have a card this time!! It was a difficult decision trying to decide which image to use in this soon to be released set by Di. She has created a wonderful set fit for any Prince or Princess!!

Di's newest set is called Once Upon a Time and here are some quick peaks of all the magical cards the DT have created.

Once Upon A Time is a 4x8 stamp set that includes a total of 15 of stamps and will sell for $18. I settled on keeping it simple and focusing on the sentiment. The sentiments in this set are a perfect fairytale set. So elegant and pretty.

Hopefully you found your way here from Kim's blog. Your next stop on the hop is over too Tammy's blog. Both ladies are such creative card diva's that you're gonna love what that have to show you.

This card is has some thing you might not expect, you see I was invited to a 70th Birthday paper where I could only bring a card if it was made out of Newspaper, cardboard or toilet paper. Well I had two of the three. See the white ruffle behind the medallion, well it's made of toilet paper! Then I cut a piece of cardboard and peeled off most of the front, dabbed my finger in white paint and rubbed the edges. I scored the inside of the cardboard to try and get it to fold a little flatter. It was a no go. But fun to make!

Good Tuesday Morning! It's been a few days since I popped in, I have a Mother's day card to share with you, I could decided if I liked the card background to be all pink so I made another identical card and put black behind it. It's neat how one colour can change a look so much, what do you think?

Alicia had a really awesome idea, she is showing some cards from past posts the feature the rubber stamps that are on sale.

I made this card for my son's Vice Principle. She made it possible for him to go on a school trip. I knew I had to use this Oliver for just such a card. Isn't he the cutest??? What's funny is that my son has been in two school plays and both times his character wore the same hat as Oliver.

As you probably already know this week is Teacher Appreciation week andWhimsie Doodlesreleased some really cute School Shaped cards. They are super easy and fast to put together. They come as a JPG so you can just print and cut out.

They come in a zipped file that included a JPEG (just print and cut out) and an SVG file (sure cuts a lot) for the Cricut. Here are two cards I made using the apple and bus shapes.

When my Cricut cut out the white part of the apple is also cut out the seeds. So I could just colour the seeds black or slip the polka dot paper in behind the white.I used PSA Essentials Super Star stamps for the sentiment and smiley face.
Verve stamps Blue Skies for the note and Vintage Photo distress ink -Ranger.

For the bus I just matted some of the pieces with black cardstock. The Bus Grill was embossed with Tim Holtz Folder. Creme brulee ink (CTMH) was used to sponge all yellow edges and smiley face.

I used PSA Essentials Super Star stamps for the sentiment and smiley face.

I saw this hat on Splitcoast Stampers and I just had to try one for myself. I saved all my empty ribbon spools and brought them out to decorate.
Now I have a mini storage hat for a little gift for Mom.

1. start with the empty ribbon spool.

2. peel off the top of the ribbon spool. (hat base)

3. Take a smaller ribbon spool and remove the bottom (make sure it fits inside the bottom spool) then trim the top edge along the spool center. (hat top)

4. Decorate the spool pieces. Attach the middle to the bottom with hot glue.
